Empties

[wendyomgwar]

I love seeing other peoples empties! So I decided to make a board where people could post pictures of their empties, or just tell us about them! I'd also be interested in knowing whether you're repurchasing anything or not.

I'll have to go try it out in store.  Looks like it is the second ingredient in my Fresh toner after water so clearly it doesn't bother me.  Does it feel texturally thick?  For example, I love the results of the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum but I don't care for the texture of it at all.  It's definitely taken some getting used to.

[JazaChai]

It's a bit thicker than water, but not at all thick compared to a serum. And it's not sticky either, which is the main thing I don't like about the Truth Serum.

[kelloua]

Yes.  The stickiness is what gets me about the Truth Serum.  I used to LOVE PTR's Camu Camu serum for that reason because it was lightweight, absorbed quickly, and wasn't sticky.  But then they seemed to have reformulated it and it was never the same.

[coffeenow]

I feel exactly the same way about the B&B full potential.  It smells like old school hairspray- Aqua Net or something.  Shame, because it does work.

Items I have repurchased are

tarte maracuja oil

shu uemura cleansing oil

amorepacific treatment enzyme peel

luna sleeping night oil

algenist retinol firming and lifting serum 

shu uemura tsuya skin youthful bouncy fine cream

bite lip wipes

sephora express eyemakeup remover

 I like the Glamglow flashmud brightening treatment as well but am still going through samples of it.

[knuevekm]

I like the bite wipes too. They are kind of pricey for what they are, but I think they are worth it.

I am impressed with your empty fragrance vials. I've never finished one, even the ones that arrive almost empty because they've spilled. Did you finish (what I am assuming is) Naked Dolly? I have a hard time wearing it. Every line gets highlighted.

[heartsmyface]

 I haven't been using my actual perfume bottles for almost a year now cause I started a self challenge to use up my vials.  I can get through a vial in about 3-4 days.  I am probably one of those stinky perfume ladies that chokes people out of a room, lol.  

Yeah I got all the way through it.  My lips are pale so any lines are not obvious on me.   I used it religiously at night between dinner and bedtime til it was gone.  Since I started participating in this empties thread I've been trying to target products to empty.

I just moved on to the Smashbox pout gloss.   It's huge!  It may take me three or four months to polish it off.

[dejena]

Wow, and even 10 empty fragrance vials. That takes effort!

[heartsmyface]

Haha, not really effort.  My actual perfumes just get neglected.  I feel as though I should take a break from the vials and use the stuff I really loved enough to buy. 

[kelloua]

Impressive empties and great that you found so many things worth repurchasing.

[heartsmyface]

Tbh, I think my skincare is becoming much more fine tuned.  I haven't been home a lot so I've been using minis of things that I regularily use anyway.  

[shyvicki]

Since posting is working again, here's mine again. 

Loves

• Benefit Roller Lash Mascara
• Nude Advance Renewal Eye Complex
• Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush

Hates

• Jack Black Glycolic Face Cleanser
• Living Proof Satin Hair Serum

Everything else is likes or alrights.

My favorite and least favorite mascara in one picture. This reminds me I think my Roller Lash (in between my favorite and least favorite) mascara is close to three months old.

[heartsmyface]

Whoa, you got through a concealer?  Nice!  

[shyvicki]

Ha ha surprisingly yeah. If you look closely, the tube looks bent because I had put it in a cup of hot water in order to try to get the leftover to the bottom of the tube. It ended up lasting a whole six months. Maybe it's a good thing I bought two tubes today since I was looking for a more moisturizing concealer.

[kelloua]

That is impressive.  Concealer takes me forever even though I use it daily.

You do not love Baume de Rose? I did not think it was possible. If you get a bigger sample of the NARS, you will probably love it. Nothing works better.

[guzelkiz]

I think it's ok but it's too pricey for me esp since my Vaseline works way better.  I know, I really want to try the Nars primer more.  This deluxe I had was all dried up.  I tried a suggestion someone made about cutting the ring off and scooping product out but there was no product to scoop out.  

[shyvicki]

I have a deluxe sample of the Alterna Caviar CC Cream for Hair and find it does nothing for me. I like Shea Moisture and It's a 10 products so much better.
